1994 Hamer USA Centaura GCTS-JR-2 Iridescent Swirl HSS Superstrat, Near-Mint w/ Case
Up for sale, a 1994 Hamer USA Centaura model GCTS-JR-2 in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and paperwork. This USA-made Hamer was produced for distribution in Japan via a partnership with the Kaman Music Corporation, featuring a Seymour Duncan HSS pickup complement, Floyd Rose-licensed Schaller tremolo, and gloss Iridescent swirl finish.
Weighing 7lbs 5oz, tonewoods included a swamp ash body, maple neck, and pau ferro fretboard. The Seymour Duncan pickups include a pair of SSL-1 single coils and a JB (TB-4) Trembucker at the bridge. The JB Trembucker is Seymour Duncan’s most popular pickup and the original hot-rodded humbucker; this high-power pickup delivers full, powerful lows, crisp and detailed highs, and an upper-midrange bump that adds crunch and chunk to heavy chords and translates to a singing, vocal-like quality for melodic playing. The pair of SSL-1 single coils deliver classic Strat-style sparkle and spank. Additionally, the two-way “Thick Switch” mini-toggle engages an additional tone cap, adding a touch more heft to the signal for particularly ripping gain. This Centura has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.
